The Great Pattern Review
The Great Pattern Review is an ongoing project. The goal is to provide a forum to share our knowledge and to be helpful and encouraging to both sewers and pattern makers. The reviews are the individual opinions based upon the subjective experience of the sewer, and are not an endorsement by GBACG.
Your additions to the Great Pattern Review are very welcome. Send us your reviews as plain text (300 words or less) in an email with attached full-sized pictures in JPG format. To be eligible for submission, you must include with your review: your first and last name (we do not publish anonymous reviews), the pattern company, the pattern title, and the pattern number (if applicable). Please send one pattern review per email to .
The Great Pattern Review is updated quarterly. The submission deadlines are the 1st of February, May, August and November.
New reviews can be found on the New Updates page.
